Tuesday, Della zoom chatted with family and played 500 Rummy with staff. Tuesday was also grocery day and we had groceries ordered and delivered to anyone who was in need of something.

On the warm Wednesday wed had, Kim and Teena went outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and to feed the birds and squirrels.

Several of us took down our Christmas trees and decorations and put them in storage until next year.
